Wine Review: This very pale straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc from Eleven Eleven opens with a very faint white peach and passion fruit bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, delicate, and tamed. The flavor profile is a tasty green apple and passion fruit blend with notes of quince and green tea. We also detected hints of lemon verbena. The finish is dry and drifts away nicely. The Tasting Panel would pair this Sauvignon Blanc with seared cilantro and lime bay scallops. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Delve into the refreshing bliss of the 2023 Beckstoffer Sauvignon Blanc from the esteemed "Melrose Vineyard" in Rutherford, Napa Valley. From the moment it cascades into your glass, the inviting clarity and soft hues of straw and lemon verbena hint at the vibrant journey ahead. This pristine and lively appearance is just the beginning, seamlessly flowing into the aromatic journey and the flavorful embrace that awaits your palate. Imagine the crispness of ripe citrus melding with the lushness of tropical fruits, all delicately tied together with whispers of sweet herbs and a touch of minerality for a taste that's as refreshing as it is refined. The balance struck between sharp acidity and luxurious viscosity is nothing short of extraordinary. Each sip concludes with a long, satisfying finish that lingers, a whisper of Napa Valley sunshine that beckons for more.
